Trey Wallace on Texas Tech’s Big Money, Lincoln Riley’s Future & Arch Manning’s Wild Win

What happens when a college football booster spends big and starts asking for a return on his investment?

Trey Wallace of OutKick joins me on Show Pony Live to talk about Texas Tech booster Cody Campbell, the expectations that come with pouring money into a program, and what it all says about the changing business of college football.

We also head to Los Angeles, where Lincoln Riley and USC are facing a huge game against Ohio State. How much pressure is Riley under, and how does his reported $70 million buyout factor into his future?

Then there’s Arch Manning and Texas. The Longhorns survived Ole Miss, but another second-half scare had fans in Austin reaching for the antacids. Trey and I discuss what he saw from Arch and what to make of Texas moving forward.

We also react to my conversation with Kansas coach Lance Leipold and a question that shows just how thin the line can be in this business: If Kansas doesn’t block that field goal against Baylor, is Dave Aranda still the Bears’ coach?

And because this is Show Pony Live, we make a stop at the honky-tonk. I got an early listen to Kaitlin Butts’ new record, and I’m officially obsessed. It’s the kind of old-school, storytelling country music that makes you feel like you’re sitting in a backwoods dive bar. I can’t wait for you to hear it.
